Wonky Houses Wall Hanging

I recently embroidered a small wall hanging to give away. It is a pattern that I bought from Jenny of Elefantz. Jenny is a frequent blogger and a brilliant stitcher from Australia.

I had such fun embroidering these cute little houses. Jenny had four houses in the pattern, but I opted to use three for this wall hanging.

Here is the first close-up. Notice the little "home" sign and the cute bunny.

Next close-up with even a wonky mailbox!

A super close-up of the third house, showing wonky windows and curtains, and the cute yellow flowers.

Jenny's patterns are nicely drawn and easy to follow. I ironed a light stabilizer onto the back, and traced the lines with my Frixion pen. Then I embroidered the designs without using a hoop. I find that gives me more freedom, and that it is easier to reach all areas of the design. But however you like to embroider, I recommend giving Jenny's patterns a try. She has quite a few, and they are all cute.
